.RING.

To all whom t may concern.: l

Be it known that I, FRANK MILHENING,

a citizen of the United States,.and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and

State of Illinois, (whose post-oflice address is 135 South State street, Chicago,) have invented a new and useful Improvement in Rings, of whichA the following is a speciaccomplished by my invention, as will more particularly hereinafter' appear.

For a more'particular description of 'this invention, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in whichv Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tube of` another metal than that of which the ring is made with a dotte'd line. indicating where it may be severed so, as to provide an annulus for a ring; Y

Fig. 2 isa sectional `,view showing an annulus about the ring and ready to be applied thereto; l

`Fig. 3 is a sectional .view showing 'the annulus applied about the ring; and

Fig.4 is a large section showing a slightly modified construction.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

In this instance, we will assume that it is desired to provide a platinum finish on a gold ring. A platinum tube 1 of suitable -diameter-is severed at 2 so as to'pro'vide an annulus 3 which may be placed about .the

l wedding ring 4, as shown in Fig. 2.

ring, which I have shown as an ordinary having been so placed, the annulus is spun about the ring until the Iexposed surface of the gold ring is covered with the'platinum and the inner surface of the ring which is of 'the wearer is not disturbed, so that all monograms, initials or other writings which may appear thereon are preserved intact and not mutilated or. obliterated.

In the structure shown in Fig. 4, the ring 4 has grooves at its inner edge into which .the edges 5 of the annulus v3 are forced, so

as to make" a .tight joint and prevent all possible tendency to disintegrate or separate from the ring 4. The platinum or other metal 3 is made thick enough to be engraved, ornamented or embellished as desired.

While I have -set forth that 'the metals combined in the ringmentioned herein are] lit will be obvious that platinum and gold, various kinds of metals may be utilized in the manner above stated, so'I do not limit` my invention to the use of .any specific metals.

While I have sho-Wn and described some embodiments of my invention, it is obvious that it is not restricted thereto, but is broad enough to cover all structures that come within the scope of the annexed claim.

Having thus described my'l invention, what I claim is:

In a device of the class described, a ring of one metal providedl with grooves'in its edges, an annulus of another metal spun vover the outer side of said ring edges spaced apart and itting said grooves whereby the inner side of said ring is left uncovered.
